“While the accuracy rate of AI drafting tools that can help lawyers churn out documents such as pleadings, briefs or discovery requests and responses is steadily improving, getting those finished products to align with the varying standards of an array of law firms and attorneys may still be an ongoing process,” observes Law.com writer Frank Ready.

Fortunately, that kind of personalization – adding a lawyer’s own voice to the writing style of an AI document generator – is possible with specialized training.

In practice, that translates into feeding the AI-generated writing software a fair amount of documents written in the style you prefer.
